Neil Krug's 'Phantom': Dreamlike Desert Photographs
American photographer Neil Krug, known for collaborations with Lana Del Rey and Tame Impala, has released a new series titled 'Phantom'. Created with Texan artist, illustrator, and model Kaiman Kazazian, the series transforms the American desert into a mental landscape populated by mysterious female figures in surreal, saturated colors. Krug describes the project as emerging from recurring dreams and nocturnal visions, aiming to create something that feels like a forgotten dream. The images evoke forgotten frames of a 1970s film, blending glamour, melancholy, and surreal tension.
